"Xan, are you like some kind of runaway princess? How can you be this stunning?!"
Outside the door, a gaggle of bridesmaids and friends, buzzing with excitement, burst in. Their chatter and laughter filled the room, surrounding her like a flock of merry birds.
"You're so gorgeous. It's almost criminal to let you get married!"
"Who wouldn't say our bride looks like a goddess descended from heaven?"
"I always thought Xan would be the last one of us to get hitched, considering no one seemed worthy enough. And yet, here she is, tying the knot so young!"
"Absolutely, let's grab a group pic before we head to the groom's place. We might not get another chance with this crowd!"
Ethan and Samuel, dapper in their suits, walked in, their spirits high. Upon seeing Xanthea, encircled by her entourage, they were both momentarily spellbound, a mix of pride and bittersweet feelings washing over them.
Their world's most beautiful, adorable little fairy sister was getting married today.
"Mr. Ethan Nightshade, Mr. Samuel Nightshade, the groom's squad has arrived to fetch the bride!"
"The groom's already here?!"
"He must be dying to see our lovely bride!"
"Girls!" Eloise exclaimed, raising her hand excitedly, "The groom is super, ridiculously handsome. Are you sure you don't want to sneak a peek?"
"Let's go, let's go!"
As the bridesmaids and friends scampered off, lifting her dress hem, Xanthea made to follow but was held back by Ethan and Samuel.
"Sis, where do you think you're heading?"
"Don't you know the bride is supposed to play it cool?"
Xanthea couldn't contain her excitement.
Orion must look absolutely dashing in his groom's attire today! She hadn't even caught a glimpse yet, and soon, he'd be swarmed by all her anthomaniac friends!
